Ji Weihang entered the Wish Game to find her missing enemy and resolve a fifty-year-old grudge. She never expected that within the game, she'd accidentally fulfill her childhood dream of saving...
Chapter 014 Chen Anan
Ji Weihang moved his nose and the scent of Ying Feiqiong lingered in the air, but he couldn't trace it.
Yes, Ying Feiqiong would never be that careless.
She was now standing on the ruins of the embroiderer's residence.
Not far ahead, the embroiderer who seemed to be about to disappear was surrounded by Wu Lin and Li Ruyu;
Not far behind, Fu Xuan and He Miao stood outside the ruins.
She looked at the embroiderer who had obviously lost her core, and thought about it.
The mysterious heart core is the source of power, which means it is a concentrated form of energy, similar to high-level spirit stones, cultivators' golden elixirs and Nascent Souls. It is a very good healing item for Ying Feiqiong.
Judging from the state of the clone, Ying Feiqiong's original injury must not be light.
The heart core can at most restore her to her peak state, it should not increase her strength too much.
For the Guixiu, this place is simply a holy place for cultivation.
Better find her quick. Get rid of her.
Ji Weihang glanced at the contribution ranking list, and the first one was [Linglong Heart], with a contribution of 20.
She was very sure that it was Ying Feiqiong.
Judging from the ever-increasing contributions, Ying Feiqiong is continuously slaughtering obsession-level ghosts in the city.
It was impossible for her to look for Ying Feiqiong in such a big city without any reason. She still had to rely on the people/ghosts here.
If we talk about king-level ghosts, there are quite a few here.
When she looked forward, she saw the embroiderer's body completely collapse and turn into black gas and dissipate.
Li Ruyu, who had originally pressed his hand on the empty space in the embroiderer's chest, pressed his hand in vain, and his hand fell on the cracked ground.
She looked a little dazed, as if she had not yet recovered from the disappearance of the embroiderer.
Wu Lin didn't seem to be too affected. He stood up and asked, "I'm going to look for Zhang Lingjiang. Do you want to come with me?"
After hearing Wu Lin's words, Li Ruyu came back to his senses and stood up, "No need."
She met Ji Weihang's gaze and walked over.
Wu Lin glanced at her small figure, pressed his hat, and disappeared.
Li Ruyu walked to Ji Weihang and stopped, looking up at the tall Ji Weihang, and waved, "Squat down a bit."
Ji Weihang squatted down and looked at her at eye level, "Is there something wrong?"
"I want to work with you."
Li Ruyu glanced at He Miao who was trying to look this way but was stopped by Fu Xuan and spoke quickly and in a low voice.
"You have a grudge against that Gui. She killed Sister Lei. I also have a grudge against her. Let's work together. I can help you find her."
"We worked together to kill her."
Without waiting for Ji Weihang to refuse, she quickly added:
"I know you may feel that you don't need my help. After all, you are very strong and have cooperated with He Yi. Whatever I can do for you, He Yi can also do for you.
“But you must have also discovered that He Yi has his own plans and goals.
"You'd better not trust her to help you find that guy named Ying Feiqiong."
Ji Weihang looked at her and said, "What is He Yi's plan?"
"If you promise to cooperate with me, I will tell you everything." Li Ruyu said, "I believe you will not break your promise."
"Okay." Ji Weihang looked at the calm and composed little girl in front of him and smiled, "I will cooperate with you."
"But if you and He Yi come into conflict, I won't interfere."
"Okay." Li Ruyu nodded.
After reaching a cooperation, Li Ruyu began to explain to her He Yi's plan and the situation in Donghe City involved.
Li Ruyu said that He Yi wanted to establish a ghost country and separate the ghosts from the human settlement.
Xiu Niang was the first to discover He Yi's plan.
As a mysterious person, Xiu Niang was of course against this plan. She won over Li Ruyu, with whom she was close, and Wu Lin, whose subordinate was devoured by He Yi.
There are many reasons for not winning over the strongest Zhang Lingjiang - he is arrogant and irritable, and will not obey Xiu Niang, and Xiu Niang does not trust her command ability. Li Ruyu does not like this ghost who almost devoured him - in short, the alliance of the three ghosts is temporarily reached.
They didn't like He Yi's plan. Most of the ghosts wouldn't agree with it.
Why did Yougui take the initiative to separate from humans?
If humans don't like the eerie and are afraid of being hurt, they should leave.
This city should have belonged to them.
——If it weren’t for the fact that every time the balance between the ghosts and humans was lost, visitors from other worlds would appear, humans would have been under the rule of the ghosts long ago.
Although they formed a temporary alliance, they were not aware of He Yi's specific plan and lay dormant for the time being.
There are many reasons for not confronting each other face to face. Li Ruyu did not explain in detail, but Ji Weihang felt it was obvious. With so many kings gathered together, on the one hand, it would easily provoke Zhang Lingjiang and cause the situation to get out of control; on the other hand, if any one of the three died, the situation would collapse.
Li Ruyu looked at Ji Weihang anxiously, not knowing how she would react.
After all, she is a human being, so maybe she will be more inclined to He Yi's side.
Looking at Li Ruyu's expression, Ji Weihang said, "Why are you looking at me like that? Your world has nothing to do with me."
Does she look like a kindhearted person? She has no interest in the changing relationship between humans and ghosts in other worlds.
Judging from her body language, Li Ruyu confirmed that this was her true words and breathed a sigh of relief.
"I have a way to track the heart core." Li Ruyu began to explain how to help her find Ying Feiqiong. "It usually takes a while for the ghost to devour the heart core, and it must take a while for Ying Feiqiong as well. I can track Sister Lei's heart core."
She tore off a piece of her finger, threw the finger that had turned into a small snake into the sky, and it immediately turned into black gas and dissipated.
Ji Weihang smelled a faint fishy smell spreading.
"This is calling my friend An An." Li Ruyu said, "An An has a keen nose and can track the smell of the heart core. She will help me find the heart core."
After waiting for a while, Li Ruyu frowned in confusion and said, "She may be far away, so we need to wait a while, but she will definitely come."
Ji Weihang did not comment and waved to Fu Xuan over there, so Fu Xuan let go of the seedlings and trotted over.
"Sister, are you done talking?"
Ji Weihang hummed, "I will cooperate with her for the time being."
Fu Xuan nodded, bent down and smiled: "Hello, I'm Bi Xuan."
"Li Ruyu." Li Ruyu replied.
"Why did you turn into a snake?" Fu Xuan asked, "Do you like snakes very much?"
"No." Li Ruyu shook his head. "I was bitten to death in a snake cave before I died. This may be considered a kind of obsession, a manifestation of deep memory, just like some ghosts are drowned and water keeps flowing from their bodies.
"If I don't control it, the sound will be very loud. Before I died, I hated that my voice was not loud enough and no one could hear me."
Fu Xuan was speechless for a moment and scratched his face, "Is that so..."
"I'm fine." Li Ruyu saw that Fu Xuan seemed a little at a loss, and said, "Yougui doesn't have that many emotions, you don't have to be embarrassed."
"Xiaoyu, are you looking for me?" At this time, a clear and soft voice sounded.
Ji Weihang looked in the direction of the sound and saw a furry animal standing not far away, looking at them.
Sometimes it is a cat, sometimes it is a dog, sometimes it is a fox, sometimes it is a tiger, its appearance is constantly changing.
Only a pair of clear blue eyes and clean and soft white hair remain unchanged.
This is the remaining king-level ghost.
"An An, Sister Lei was killed." Li Ruyu said, "I want you to help me track the heart core."
"Ah?" Chen Anan withdrew her gaze from Ji Weihang and looked at Li Ruyu in confusion and shock. "What happened? Who did it? Could it be He Yi? Or Zhang Lingjiang?"
"Visitors from another world." Li Ruyu said, "Don't you know that visitors from another world have arrived?"
"I've been in the next city for the past few days." Chen Anan said, "I just came back. I came here as soon as I received your call."
There was realization in those blue eyes, "No wonder, I was wondering why the atmosphere in the city was weird."
"Is your going to the next city related to He Yi?" Ji Weihang suddenly asked.
Chen Anan looked at this strange human in surprise, "How did you know?"
"When you heard that Xiu Niang had died, your first reaction was He Yi. Generally speaking, you would put Zhang Lingjiang first." Ji Weihang
"Indeed..." Chen Anan nodded thoughtfully, "You humans are full of tricks."
Li Ruyu walked over, touched Chen Anan's smooth hair, and couldn't help but complain: "This is not how you use tricks..."
"It doesn't matter about this kind of thing..." said Chen Anan.
"What did you and He Yi do in the next city?" Ji Weihang interrupted their meaningless conversation and asked.
Chen Anan was somewhat dissatisfied with her attitude.
Li Ruyu stroked Chen Anan's hair and whispered, "She is my friend, just answer her."
"Well... He Yi didn't ask me to keep it a secret anyway." Chen Anan spoke freely about what she had done in the past few days. "Isn't there an ancient instrument called the Pomegranate Flower Mirror in the next door city that is comparable to the Soul-Extinguishing Umbrella and the Styx Sword? I helped her get it back."
“Pomegranate Flower Mirror…” Li Ruyu paused in stroking his hair and frowned, “It seems to be an item that can create illusions and devour consciousness.”
"It's pretty impressive." Chen Anan didn't know how to beat around the bush and said directly, "Most of the city next door is under the control of the pomegranate mirror. Those humans are living in the mirror world without realizing it, and their real bodies are emitting a foul smell."
"He Yi came to me because my consciousness is special and is not within the automatic capture range of the Pomegranate Flower Mirror. Together with He Yi's special new clone, I am more than enough to deal with that king-level." Chen Anan said with some pride, "We entered the Mirror City through a gap and found the owner of the Pomegranate Flower Mirror. We divided the energy and the mirror, and then came back."
"But, even though I was told that I got a mirror, I didn't get any at all..."
After listening to only the first half, Li Ruyu suddenly understood He Yi's plan - He Yi wanted to transfer all the ghosts into the mirror world of the pomegranate flower mirror!
She looked at Ji Weihang, who also had a change of expression, and said hastily, "Let's go quickly, He Yi must have got the pomegranate flower mirror!
"With her strength, plus the power of the pomegranate flower mirror, it is enough to contain all the ghost consciousness in the city!"
"Indeed, but why would she do this? What good would it do to her?" Ji Weihang said calmly, "She is clearly a ghost, but she wants to stand on the side of humans and separate the ghost from the real world? What's the logic behind this?"
"How do I know what she is thinking!" said Li Ruyu.
As Fu Xuan was watching them arguing, suddenly a hazy and dreamy colorful light enveloped his eyes.
For a moment, nothing could be seen.
As Fu Xuan's consciousness gradually faded, he only heard Chen Anan say, "It's the pomegranate flower mirror..."
